This is all very interesting because I recently purchased a Micro Dac to use with my powerbook and K701s and I can hardly hear the difference between the two sources. The difference is really very slight. I thought the difference would be remarkable, but I couldn't tell the difference and...

I found Scott 2 on vinyl a couple years ago. I've been looking for the rest of them ever since....Has anyone found Scott on vinyl?
